Question

If action is equal to reaction explain how horse is able to pull the cart

Answer 1

hi

Answer:

action & reaction acts on 2 different bodies ! ..

so in this case we see that horse applies the force on ground & this is action force .

now in return this ground gives reaction & that on the cart .

so this makes the horse pull the cart .

gud day

Answer 2

$\bigstar\green{\underline{\sf{\purple{Answer}}}}\bigstar$

When the horse walks in the forward direction (with the cart attached to it), it exerts a force in the backward direction on the Earth. An equal force in the opposite direction (forward direction) is applied on the horse by the Earth. This force moves the horse and the cart forward.

The velocity at which the horse can move by applying a force on the earth depends on the mass of the horse (and the cart attached to it). The heavier the cart, the slower the motion of the horse (for a given amount of force applied by the horse on the Earth). If the cart is too heavy, the force exerted by the horse on the Earth will be insufficient to even overcome the force of inertia. In this case, the horse will not be able to pull the cart.
